Graphing Plant Growth Data

In this video, Mrs. Bron teaches how to graph plant growth data from a table onto a coordinate grid. The lesson covers setting up the graph, labeling axes, collecting data, plotting points, and analyzing growth patterns. Students learn to calculate growth differences and identify the week with the greatest growth. The video concludes with questions to reinforce understanding.
